COMICS, FILM AND OTHER NONVIABLE MATTERS

Progress

9 March 2016 UPDATE:

It hasn’t been easy. Writing a comic, that is. If it had been easy, though, it would have never been worth trying. I don’t do this because it’s easy. I do this because it’s one of the hardest things that I will ever do in my life. It requires me to be both artist and businessman. It mandates that I work well with others but not be such a pushover. It requires me to creatively express some respectable opinions through a medium that has yet to be respected by some. But most of all it screams that I never give up.

Giving up has always been way too easy for me.

Angela had once thought I was giving up because of my “TONE” in the emails. I assured her that this was not the case and that I was only practicing poor netiquette. I hope she forgave me. I am thankful to have an artist worry as much as I do about Gale.

SO ANYWAY:

I have been saving this progress page for something worth sharing. Before, Gale was just an idea that we were fleshing out. Then Gale became a script. After that we had to figure out what the right look would be for this story. Now, finally, we have decided what that look would be.

I know that in the past I have release script excerpts and some of you have enjoyed reading them. I plan to sort of do the same thing today, except this time I am releasing what will be the standard of every comic page we print and you get to see the story come to life in front of your eyes (at least a small percent for now :-/). I want to show this to you today because I need your support, and I need you to know that we can do this and we will. I am not giving up. NOT TODAY.

This is the finished issue #1 page 3 of my neo-noir comic book in the works, GALE: The Calm. #GaleComic

Stay tuned for more updates and an Interview with the artist. If you guys have questions you want to ask us, tweet us or DM us.

27 March 2016 UPDATE:

If you have been following my blog posts recently you may have seen the release of our cover for GALE: The Calm Issue #1 at the end of my interview with artist, Angela Zhang. You can reach her @zhangahstudio on Twitter! Anyway if you missed it first, here it is. I hope you guys have enjoyed following along for the last few months.

Stay tuned for next time. In the meantime I will be working on a monologue and Angela will be working on gathering material to give you guys a Trailer to advertise for our crowd funding campaign in the works. We will also be working on a website. As always, thanks for your support.
